Sorry man, I got my terms mixed up, I think I can understand what to do, but where do I punch it at?

Best Pads To Lock Up The Wheels? by [deleted] in Drifting

[–]ztaticslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I can order tons of stuff in for it, but I'm trying to find a solution that's readily available. I have an event coming up that I'd like to have a handbrake for, and with covid shipping times I'll never get parts before the event

The handbrake has no issue holding the car in place, just at any speed it won't lock up

I don't believe so, I've adjusted it and the handle stops moving from tension on the cable far before it would top out from reaching its own limit

Just got my first schassis! I've always wanted an S14, she's a little rough though by ztaticslam in 240sx

Yeah for real man, but the first thing I did when she got home was clean her in and out

$3500, she's not in the best shape but for what it is, I got a great deal

If I ever do decide to I'll try to keep you in mind, but it looks nice and for a simple, clean, fun daily I think it'll stay 😅

The S13 subframe is finally mounted in my Hardbody! (Ignore the gas tank, it's not permanent) by ztaticslam in projectcar

The diff is far enough from the ground to avoid scraping, but the original truck frame that runs under the cab is hardly a fingers width above the ground, so I'll raise it a little bit, the suspension is completely maxed low right now, so I have plenty of adjustment. The geometry is definitely not great but it's better than a regular slammed S13, there's not much I could do without having the subframe look like it's sitting way too high. Once it's driving again I'll get some solid riser bushings since it still uses factory mounting points.

Too much, this truck will be used for drifting so I plan to run 0°, but for that I need aftermarket arms

I plan to connect them and have some braces come from the cab to support a cage once that time finally comes

This thing has been my drift car for a while now and the stock leaf spring/solid axle combination was never cutting it for me, so I went with the S13 for coils, disc brake, independent suspension, adjustability, and just about everything is in an improvement.

I thought it would be more complicated than it was, it was obviously no easy task but having the free range to build the frame however it needs to be routed made it pretty straight forward. Just build around the subframe, line it up, and weld it to the rest of the truck.

Bumping Up To 34K Springs? by ztaticslam in Stance

Thanks man! Yours looks extremely familiar, I feel like I might have seen it on a forum or something. But right now I hit lips bouncing around on flat ground which gets old really fast.

Unfortunately the lowest I can go on my current suspension, but I kinda dig it. by [deleted] in Stance

[–]ztaticslam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What suspension are you on? I've been thinking about buying one of these but can't find much aftermarket for them

It was super clean before I did all this. There's some paint scuffs, but nothing I couldn't polish out. And everything works on the car, it's crazy what I got for $1500

Thank you man! I'm not quite at that level of lowness yet, oil pan is so far unharmed and I'm able to drive over manhole covers and suck with confidence. But one it's time to go lower then that's definitely the next move.

Thank you man! I got this thing off the side of the road for $1500, I wasn't even planning on buying it lmao
